Quality questions are crucial for learning and connection. They demonstrate true curiosity and a genuine desire to understand the other person. Unlike questions driven by ulterior motives like convincing or blaming, quality questions are clear, direct, and devoid of alternate agendas. They uncover underlying meanings, emotions, and experiences by focusing on what truly matters to the other person. Quality questions can help identify someone's values, unravel the logic behind their beliefs or actions, and seek assistance in problem-solving. They also foster vulnerability and invite feedback, allowing for issues to be addressed effectively.
Do you struggle to connect with other people? It could be because you're not asking the right questions. In this episode, leadership expert Jeff Wetzler shares strategies for asking deep questions drawn from his latest book, "Ask: Tap Into the Hidden Wisdom of People Around You for Unexpected Breakthroughs In Leadership and Life."
